About Banks & Dade
Banks & Dade Chiro + Wellness is a Forster-based chiropractic and wellbeing clinic offering a wholistic approach to care. Since 2010, we have supported individuals and families across the Forster–Tuncurry region with thoughtful, professional care tailored to each person.
Our focus is on understanding how the body works as a whole, and supporting our patients to take informed, confident steps toward better health and vitality.
Our story
Banks & Dade was founded with a clear intention: to create a space where people feel listened to, respected and supported in their health journey.
Over the years, our clinic has grown alongside the local community. While techniques and tools have evolved, our commitment has remained the same — to provide care that considers the individual, not just isolated symptoms.
We believe that health is influenced by many factors, including physical function, nervous system health, stress and lifestyle. Our approach reflects this understanding, allowing us to support a wide range of needs with care that is both considered and collaborative.
Our philosophy
At Banks & Dade, we believe in inspiring our patients to lead the best life possible.
Our approach is grounded in the understanding that the body has an innate capacity to adapt and heal when given the right support. Rather than focusing solely on short-term relief, we aim to help our patients better understand their bodies and the factors influencing their wellbeing.
We value open communication, education and collaboration, and see care as a partnership between practitioner and patient.
